Corrected. One pedant point awarded.

Knowledgeable identification of an insect arthropod from the photo with cited reasoning: nice.

Dick joke : 4x the upvotes.

I grew up with science classes telling us always state the digits individually. One point three two.

My hiccup remedy is to take a moderately deep breath, then say, out loud, “Now” right before you hiccup again.

Usually, the control and attention keep it from happening again. I’ve had many people do this and just go, “oh, I guess they went away…” 👀

Fun fact (because there’s nothing more fun than technicality!): Technically it wasn’t his life’s work. Well before his work on nuclear fission, Oppenheimer was actually responsible for originally theorizing the existence of both antimatter and black holes. He was a more intuitive physicist than a technical one, so he didn’t follow through on these ideas, instead letting others carry the work forward.

First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.

Number three…

The larch.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. If you could distill pure insufferable smugness into a liquid, this was him squirting it into your mouth while you’re not paying attention and laughing at you while you sputter and gag.

I prefer my space vampires Mathilda May-shaped.

Gift in German means poison.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they are on the opposite side of “lol German words are compounded like crazy” and look at us as “lol English has a different word for everything now get me a drink from the cool closet before I put you in the sick house, you shield toad.”

Oops. Spanish Prisoner. My brain just stopped or I read that.

I’m upvoting you on pure enthusiasm.

Oh damn I haven’t watched Spanish Prisoner since college. It was one of my “you’ve never heard of this but it’s awesome” recommendations for ages!

Edit: added the actual movie I’m talking about

This should just be a 1D spectrum line.

I guess this is like #7 or so on the “Jobs that cause ejaculation” list?

Enshittification. Once you learn it, you see it everywhere. It’s depressing.

Look, I think it’s important to state here that while you can often offer prompts to strangers with no ill effect, 7% of strangers are DEATHLY ALLERGIC to prompts. I know it’s fun to give your strangers prompts sometimes, but I urge you all NOT to give prompts to strangers or you run the very real risk of harming them seriously.

I know, thank you, I just hate the “can you spot the …?” pictures that are low resolution and poorly compressed.

Is it hiding behind one of the pixels?
